Most things are fine on powerpc(32), I've only been dealing with
powerpcspe, but assume powerpc is comparable.  However, the big
sticking point is devel/llvm* no longer build since the binutils
updates back in January or February (2.31, I think, maybe as far back
as 2.30), it hits the elflink.c assert that's already in a PR for x86.
That means X ports no longer build.  I'm hoping with our eventual
switch to lld things will change.  Which reminds me, I have an email to
send out.
